After the Milwaukee Bucks defeated the Brooklyn Nets on Monday, Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo was made aware by reporters in the postgame locker room that New Orleans Pelicans star big man Anthony Davis is reportedly interested in playing for Milwaukee.
Upon hearing that, Antetokounmpo said it was the first time he had heard the rumor. The Greek Freak, looking to avoid a fine for tampering, quickly said he had no comment about it.

Reports surfaced on Monday that Anthony Davis, who has requested a trade from the New Orleans Pelicans, has expanded his list of teams that he would be interested in getting traded to. The Bucks apparently made the list. Milwaukee likely doesn't have the assets, though, to acquire Davis from New Orleans.
However, it is fun to think about how scary the Bucks would be with Giannis Antetokounmpo and Anthony Davis on the same team. Milwaukee currently has the best record in the Eastern Conference at 39-13 and they are second in the NBA in points per game.
Could you imagine how deadly they would be if The Greek Freak and The Brow were together in Milwaukee? Somewhere, NBA general managers are thankful that the Bucks don't have the young assets to pull off a Davis trade because Milwaukee would be unstoppable if those two superstars teamed up.
